DNA testing reveals that Cabernet Sauvignon is descended from Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. Although the names may sound alike, cabernet Sauvignon is much heartier than it's distant cousins. Many etymologists believe that Cabernet relates to the Biturica grape that the Roman poet Pliny recorded in the year 71 A.D. as being planted in Bordeaux because of its hardiness.
